Posts Just For You- This Week at ActiveRain June 7 to  June 13, 2026

  

Every day, there is something to learn here at ActiveRain.  With this series, I highlight posts that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, a post about Real Estate or other professions, about a place, or a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

 

Greg Brown, Sales RepJune 6: Greg Brown     To Have and To Hold: The Forgotten Half of Success  

What a beautiful post. Think about it. 

 

 

RockyJune 7:  Rocky Dickerson    The Power of a Kind Word

I’ve missed seeing Rocky at our Zoom Calls. Love his reminder that you never know. 

 

 

DianaDiana Dahlberg       How My Husband Became God's Messenger That Morning  

How many times has something like this happened to you? Very uplifting. 

 

BillBill Gross      The Fed’s Real Estate "Experts" Have Never Actually Sold a House

I like Lew’s ideas, and yes, I’ve been the newbie in several networking groups. Good analogy!

Ken & Ari Walker -Ken & Ari Walker AI Isn't Replacing Mortgage Pros. It's Changing Who Succeeds

This says it all: The risk may no longer be whether you use AI, the risk may be refusing to understand it at all.

I miss seeing Rocky Dickerson in the Rain as well.  He still blogs, but he isn't really active at all.  I will still probably hit him up when I am in Vegas next and get together for lunch with him, haha.
